Betty White had such an inner and outer beauty that pulled at the hearheartstrings of all viewers who spent time watching her artistry at work on television, commercials, and films. She was an all-around loved humanitarian who cared about all people and animals. The world has lost a beautiful soul and heaven has gained another angel.

She was a comedic actress icon and Emmy winner, Grammy Award winner, and SAG Life Achievement Award, and was married to Allen Ludden, her third husband. They had a love story and romance until Ludden’s death when he died of stomach cancer in 1981. She advised she’d never get over losing him.

Prior to Ludden, she had been briefly married twice. One was to a World War II soldier who was an Ohio chicken framer, who she labeled the marriage as a nightmare and later married, a Universal casting director, Lane Allen.

Having had a long and successful career in the entertainment industry, suddenly in her 90s her acting career took a turn for the sky and soared nonstop into every home making her a recognizable face endeared and loved by all.
